Racist and filthy club. “Superfan” Joffa and Straughnie just lame attempts of promoting themselves. If Joffa supported any other team the media wouldn’t pay any attention to him. I hope he gets convicted

    Pluses and minuses here.

    Would you think it good to have no candidates to vote for in the upcoming State elections?

    10 candidates gives members options, it's called democracy.

    The down side of democracy is you are answerable to your constituents and this can make some things difficult to achieve as not all of them will agree with your ideas. Some might even have better ideas.

    They weren't a basket case this year.  Far from it. I'm in oar of what they achieved this year.

    It's hardly democracy at Collingwood while only about 10,000 of their 100,000 members have voting rights.  That club could implode and there's nothing the "members" can do about it.

    It's massively crook, isn't it?  I don't see how they can be termed members if they don't have voting rights.  Only the social club members and coterie have voting rights.  It's a strange situation.  Brisbane Lions are also set up that way.

    This article explains what the situation stood last year.  I cannot see any evidence of them having an SGM to change that aspect of their ordinary membership definition, unless it was an agenda item in their AGM last December, for which I'm struggling to find the minutes of. If the situation has changed, then good on them, and I stand corrected.

    Good points @rjay. Democracy as a social experiment is in retreat globally, good to see the Filth bucking the trend 🤣

    They are both consistent aren't they?

    Article states AFL Club Support member

    Club note states AFL members not eligible

    Actually, the article is poorly written and confuses Barry Cassidy opinion with example of the specific Member, and the 15k/85k number doesn't seem right given Melbourne has a 42k/23k ratio with similar categories and some similarity in rules

     

    Melbourne has MCC/ MFC (basic/premium) - for a long time the only difference really was a Vote, then they threw in some steak knifes

    • AFLW REPORT: Western Bulldogs

      We’re back! That was fun. The Mighty Dees’ Season 10 campaign is off toa flying start with a commanding 48-point winover the Western Bulldogs, retaining the Hampson-Hardeman Cup in style. After a hard-fought first half in slippery conditions, the Dees came out in the second half and showcased their trademark superior class, piling on four goals in the third termand never looked back.

    • REPORT: Hawthorn

      The final score in Saturday's game against Hawthorn was almost identical to that from their last contest three months ago. Melbourne suffered comprehensive defeats in both games, but the similarities ended there.When they met in Round 9, the Demons were resurgent, seeking to redeem themselves after a lacklustre start to the season. They approached the game with vigour and dynamism, and were highly competitive for the first three quarters, during which they were at least on par with the Hawks. In the final term, they lapsed into error and were ultimately overrun, but the final result did not accurately reflect their effort and commitment throughout the match.

    • CASEY: Box Hill

      The Casey Demons ended the regular season on a positive note and gained substantial momentum leading into the finals when they knocked the Box Hill Hawks off the top of the VFL ladder in their final round clash at Casey Fields. More importantly, they moved out of a wild card position in the finals race and secured a week's rest as they leapfrogged up the ladder into fifth place with their decisive 23-point victory over the team that had been the dominant force in the competition for most of the season.

    • POSTGAME: Hawthorn

      The Demons were sloppy all day and could not stop the run and carry of the fast moving Hawthorn as the Hawks cruised to an easy 36 point win. Is the season over yet?
